When I turned around to look at my client's expression, it was one of utter shock and disbelief. That's when I realized I didn't have my video camera with me. I wish I'd captured that image to save forever. Continue reading →

When I first created a video titled "Testicular Torsion," everybody thought I was crazy. “That's such a painful topic,” they said. “Who would ever watch a video by a lawyer about a medical condition as severe as testicular torsion?” was another comment from a well-meaning colleague. “It is an exceedingly embarrassing condition, and nobody will watch this video,” said another medical malpractice attorney who I was friendly with.

You do realize I'm referring to shooting video outdoors, right?

I went to dinner last night with some very dear friends that we see once a year. He's a doctor and she's a trusts and estates attorney. She's a solo who works out of her home after having worked for many years in a large law firm.

I have been answering the same questions over and over for 18 years and I wanted the opportunity to get those answers into video and onto my website. When I did my research, I looked on the Web, I talked to other attorneys, there was one man who I thought could do the job and that was Gerry Oginski.
